SPRING PRACTICE PERIOD: Stories from the Lotus Sutra

Dogen-Zenji so cherished the Lotus Sutra that he actually carved a selection of it into his door. This, the core text of not only Zen but the whole of Mahayana Buddhism, has never lost its appeal among practitioners of the Way. Join us for our SPRING PRACTICE PERIOD: Stories From the Lotus Sutra led by Sensei Joshin Byrnes, Sensei Genzan Quennell

Please note that Upaya has limited parking. We greatly appreciate it if you are able to walk, bike, or carpool! Please park in the East parking lot (the second driveway — the one farther from town) unless it is full. No parking on Cerro Gordo Road and please be careful not to block the fire hydrant by parallel parking along driveway to the public West Parking Lot. We also ask for your mindfulness of those who use the public park and our neighbors. Thank you.
